Jackie worked daily during the Covid pandemic at the Bella Vida Drive Thru. She became someone that the seniors could see and talk to everyday. Jackie noticed changes in their health and behavior and was able refer them to our social services department. She continues to have a quarterly lunch with some of the seniors she met at the drive-thru.
